Nothing to thank for, Fonzz.

@farkasr: Agree with Fonzz, that sound like they phished your account and now wanted to prevent you from further logins (just try to login).

If it's possible to login there, change your login details (I think the phishers haven't done it yet, otherwise RS would have sent you an email).

And at least activate the security lock, the new security feature of rs.

thanks for the replies...however, I can't even login to Rapid. It "finds" my account but it won't take my password. When I ask for a new password to be sent to me, Rapid doesn't even recognize my email account! Still waiting for Rapid to respond to my inquiry. Sad

Hmh, I think the phisher changed your email and afterwards your password.

You'll have to wait for an answer of RS.

And use a unique password that isn't your alias or something silly like password or wizard.... better yet, don't even touch the 'change password' prompt.

now if your reply to this is, "I never did" then you have bigger problems... your email account itself has been hacked. Change all pw's just to be sure and if you can get the sites to email you unique passwords, they will only send it once and if you see it the hacker didn't.

update! Rapid finally responded to my inquiry (3 days) and yes...the email I had received stating I had "violated" their terms was a fake. They reset my account...strongly recommend if you have an account to "lock" your access. Still unsure how it happened, since I don't respond to emails requesting to update my stuff etc...conspiracy?? Wink

thanks again for the replies to challenge the email authenticity!
